Question..
 

I am currently wanting to kick up the HP a little bit on my truck, but without throwing out tons of $$.

I was thinking of adding a triple guage pod, EGR delete, and some custom Innovative SCT tunes.

What tune would be safe to run WITHOUT head studs? And also what guages should i get to moniter?

Truck is an 03 6.0 with the 5R110 tranny.

I have sct with custom tunes most people say that evey truck is diff as to how far u can push it none are the same, but i got tunes from innovative diesel got a tow and street and a extreme street and love them. but i did do a Egr delete and replaced the oil cooler

coolant filter is VERY IMPORTANT

ok so coolant filter and egr delete should be fine? im not going to be using drag racing tunes and flooring the crap turds out of it every day. i will be mainly running economy and extreme street. and whenever i go get 300 bails of hay ill be running the tow of course

anybody know any good coolant filters and mind sending me a link to one?

sinister are good, just google "coolant filter"


egr delete and coolant filter will be the best things you can do for your truck, along with proper maintance:c:

sounds good to me! im buying a River city diesel EGR delete because of the cheaper price. ill look around for a coolant filter. just trying to get some prices. got the windows tinted today, but didnt explain how i wanted them exactly, so i gotta pay more to have more tint slapped over it :argh:

lol i gota get my tint re-done cause the dirt scraped it up:dang:

yea man i understand how that goes.. i tried to cram a fishing pole in the back of mine and no joke the hook caught the corner of it somehow... ripped a gash in it... i got 5% all the way around, but they stripped the 2 front windows then put 5%.. i meant just add the 5% overtop of everything, but i guess i wasnt clear enough.. i know the guy though so its all good

my friend just had his done, bunch of bubbles.. it looks like s*%t :D

mine has a bubble in it, but they said it would somehow go away in a couple days. if it doesnt ill be getting it redone for free. the guy i know owns the shop, not the dumba$$ workers

im just saving for a set of 35's :choochoo:

yea man im doing 4 inch suspension lift and 35's here soon.. just gotta find the money one way or another. ive been collecting scrap metal anywhere i can find. probly got 10000 pounds of junk now haha

ive been workin my ass off but i keep spending the money :D

found one here: 2003-2007 6.0L Coolant Filtration Kit |MKM Customs

hows that look? decent price?

same here... i spend a lot.. bought mirrors and tint in past couple weeks. so there goes 300 :p

that looks good:c:

ok man sounds good to me

I just put the MKM ( Sinister ) coolant filter kit in my truck. Took all of about 20 minutes to install it. Pretty simple really. As for gauges.. Fuel pressure gauge is most important in the 6.0s. And the other 2 would be the Engine Oil Temp and Engine Coolant Temp gauges.

yea looks simple as hell to put on. so fuel pressure, EOT, and ECT? what about exhaust gas temps and boost?

The three nmtmdtr3fan noted are probably the most important 3. You will definitely want a pyro gauge if you're running a tuner. Boost isn't necessary, more for the "cool" factor. Though in your case your truck doesn't have one factory, where the 05+ one's do, so I already had one factory. Usually you can tell what the turbo is doing by watching the tail pipe though. I don't think that's an important one to get right away, if you can't afford all of them.
